Stainless Steel Lap Joint Flange

A stainless steel lap joint flange is a special pipe flange used in piping systems. It makes assembly, disassembly, and alignment easier. The flange has two parts: a stub end and a backing flange. The stub end, made of stainless steel, is welded to the pipe. The backing flange, which can be stainless steel or another cheaper material, slides over the stub end. It can rotate freely. This design helps align bolt holes during installation. It is especially useful for systems that need frequent maintenance or inspection.
